Introduction

About

As a public higher education institution, “1 Decembrie 1918” University of Alba Iulia is going through a new stage of its existence, a stage marked by the three principles underlying the current mandate of the University’s Management: performance, quality, and consistency. As a relatively young University - we are celebrating 28 years of existence in 2019 -, our University is fully aware of its purpose and role within the higher education system in Romania and constantly relates to the tradition of the Transylvanian educational system.

International Cooperation with Higher Education Institutions

The main tenets of the internationalization strategy of “1 Decembrie 1918” the University of Alba Iulia, developed in cooperation with and endorsed by the university management are construed along the following lines: extending the international dimension of research activities, and teaching/learning processes, raising intercultural and plurilingual awareness, and active involvement in social and corporate governance. We actively foster the mobility of teachers and students and we continuously extend our cooperation with institutions worldwide, either through bilateral agreements or collaborating in different types of networks (Association of Carpathian Regional Universities, Consortium in Humanities, European Network for Intercultural Education Activities, UNIRO - University Network of International Relations Offices, etc.). Our university has currently concluded more than 200 Erasmus+ agreements with higher education institutions for student and staff mobility. Each year we send abroad approximately 200 students for studies or placements and host more than 100 incoming students within the Erasmus+ mobility program. Our university is also implementing the International Credit Mobility action, as we have been awarded grants for mobility flows with Australia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Uzbekistan, Russia, Colombia, and China (with China we have granted only for staff mobility). Besides mobility programs, we develop collaborative educational and research activities, such as co-organizing thematic conferences (GeoCAD, ICTAMI, BENA, etc.), co-publishing periodical volumes of conference proceedings, and peer-reviewed academic journals. We have already established successful joint Ph.D. programs, and we are looking into new vistas offered by ERA+ and Horizon 2020 Programs.
